Podcast 483: Guru Singh Returns

In what has become a November tradition, Guru Singh - the
Fretboard Journal's favorite guitar-loving yogi and spiritual
teacher - returns to the podcast.

This time around, we hear more about his early days growing up in
Seattle, including the now-customized Gibson J-45 that he
purchased in the '50s, used throughout the '60s as a Reprise
Records artist, and still plays today. We talk about his new
album, en CHANT ed (out now on all the streaming platforms),
working with Seal, and how he defines mantra music.

We also get advice on how to stay positive during stressful times
(including the recent election), the importance of inclusion, the
history of yoga in the U.S. and so much more.
